Found out that dw was caused by 2 things the draglink tie rod end where connected at pitman arm and the rustys offroad trackbar.
I will just get a oem tie rod end but wanted opinions on trackbars. I can get a stock trackbar from carquest for below cost or should i just shell out some bucks for a RE model or any other suggustions. I am not a hardcore offroader like some of you but i do want reliable equipment that will stand up the test of time and driving. Nathan 2001 Ford Ranger 4x4 Offroad Stock....for now |

Shell out the $$$ for an RE. You cant use an OEM track-bar with 4.5" of lift. You will have to re-drill the axle for it to reach, and its a really cheesy way of doing things. Not oly does it limit flex but you will probably get DW too.

So what is the Problem with your Rusty's track bar? Do you have the HD trackbar or the standard trackbar? I have the HD and butched the heck out of it to work on my App but it is goping to be butched again so I can use it on my high steer.

the end that connects to the frame which looks like a tie rod end is completely destroyed the treads are gone and the bushing is shot. it is completely tight and when you move the steering wheel you can see it move along with the draglink tie rod end which is most likely causing the dw.
Read the warranty from rustysoffroad and you have to be the original purchaser of the part which i am not. Nathan 2001 Ford Ranger 4x4 Offroad Stock....for now |

Oh ok yeah that is a POS! I ended up and bought his HD track bar. It replaces the TRE and bracket . I have been pretty happy with it.

Im going to go with the RE1600 instead of rustys. Going to slowly upgrade to Rubicon Express hardware.
